INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, and DEATHS, in and near LONDON. 



With Biog-rapJiical Memoirs cf distinguished Characters recently deceased. 



NOTICE has been given of an inten- 

 tion to apply to Pai-lianient for — a 

 new Tontine patent iron-bridge aeross tlie 

 Tliames, from New Gravrl-lnne, Ratcliffe, 

 to Hanover-street, Rotherliitlie ; to be of 

 sufficient liei»Iit for shipping to pass be- 

 neath ; — a new iish-niarket on the banliS 

 of the Thames, at or near Old Hmigerford 

 Market ; — and a new road along the left 

 bank of the Thames, from Westminster 

 Abbey to the end of Vauxhall-bridge. 



The streets and houses on the Snrrey 

 side of the Thames, and the whole of the 

 borou»h ef Southwark, with that part of 

 Blackfriars'-road between the bridge and 

 HiU's chapel, is now brilliantly illuminated 

 with gas. Tlie elegant private losidence 

 «f Mr. Potts, in liie Clink liberty, is lighted 

 with gas, which is found fully to answer 

 every purpose of domestic economy. The 

 dining and drawing-rooms, with the li- 

 brary and billiard-room of this splendid 

 mansion, exhibit a most pleasing and bril- 

 liant scene when thus lighted. The esta- 

 blishment from which the gas is supplied is 

 Sitnated at Bankside, under the direction 

 of Messrs. Monro and Co, 



A late circular letter, addressed to the 

 opulent inhabitants of Chelsea, contains 

 the following afflicting account of the si- 

 tuation of the poor of that parish : — "The 

 poor considerably exceed, both in nnmber 

 and distress, any former peiinj ; families 

 with six children, are reduced to lie on 

 straw, without any thing but a sack to 

 cover them! and the workhouse is so full, 

 that three or four are lying in a bed, and 

 numerous applications are daily made for 

 admission, who have neither food nor 

 shelter, nor the means of obtaining it ; but 

 the parish officers have not the means of 

 complying with them." 



The Spital-fields Committee report, that 

 duiing the last eleven weeks they have 

 paid more than ;>4()0 visits, and distributed 

 85601. in sums of from one to three shil- 

 lings among SSiyd families, containing 

 about 14,40U individuals ; and, while en- 

 gaged in this service, they have witnessed 

 an extremity of suffering, of which tliose 

 who are not accustomed to explore the 

 abodes of poverty, can form no adequate 

 idea. 



The workhouse of Spital-fields which is 

 deemed capable of accommodating 350 

 persons only, has now no less than 650. 



Tlie extensive drying mills of Messrs. 

 Tincr and co. near Wapping-docks, have 

 been entirely consumed by fire, together 

 with several of theadjoinin-; houses.
